- Making IT Happen: Terri
Stice (Green River Regional Educational Cooperative). Throughout
her career, Terri’s professional goal has been to raise student
achievement by the use of technology. Her consistent effort
and work have impacted the role of education technology not only at the
local level, but at the state and national levels as well. (Terri is a
past KySTE Outreach grant winner.)
More about
the awards...
The
coveted, internationally recognized "Making IT Happen" award is
provided by the International Society for Technology in Education
(ISTE), of which KySTE is an affiliate. The "Outstanding Teacher" and
"Outstanding Leader" awards mirror similar awards offered
by ISTE. State winners of these awards are automatically
submitted to ISTE for nomination at the international level. The
"Outstanding Technology Support Staff" award is Kentucky-only, a
reflection of KySTE's committment to the tireless
technicians who support and
enhance the use of education technology.
Nominations for all four awards are solicited each fall from KySTE
members.
